Those French notes are great!

 

Well howza about a slice of Key Lime Note? The color on this 1928B From Minny is almost textbook lime, really sharp note in hand and the lime green pops like a (I have removed this joke as it is, while funny, extremely raunchy...). Let's just say it pops...

 

Another French note, this time from West African States, Ivory Coast:

A recent pickup of mine

 

My latest acquisition:



1957B Silver Cert with courtesy signature by Kathryn O'Hay Granahan.

 

These were gifts to our family when we were in the port ministry in Washington State at our church (1980) from seaman off of the ships as a token of appreciation.

 

Those are cool notes, Kbabyjohnson1. Especially given the story behind them. I always wonder how foreign notes get to the United States, and in this case we know.

 

Received this one also....in 1981 (Mom wrote the date on it when we received it and who from.) This man's wife was having a baby (twins) and he was on the ship so we (the church ministry) gave him a baby shower. He was so touched by all of the gifts that were given to him and insisted on giving something in return.

 

Nice note and great story behind it.

 

Thanks. I love sharing these. Thankful Mom gave them to me.

 

kbabyjohnson01 - nice stories to go with those notes! Thanks for sharing them.

 

It only took 20 years but I have finally completed my City of Milwaukee $1.00 depression scrip set. Only five notes in the set but they are difficult to find. I found the Series D at a show this weekend.

 

Congratulations on completing this set lettow.

 

And now I'm seeing stars! Well, two new ones, on my slow march to collect all of the 1934 stars releases...

 

Wow, congrats! I hope you have another challenge in the wings

Dave

 

sorry bout that!

 

Unless that's some magic color changing coin, you might want to look into white balance settings

By the way, this is the paper money section of the forum, I think the coin guys have a similar thread.

Yep - there is a thread in the coin section for new coin acquisitions.
